Fwd: [grassrootsmapping] MapKnitter 2: Test Edition sneak peek, please check it out!

[pablo rey]

El nuevo mapknitter (también para tables) está en camino. Incorpora muchas de las cosas que se desarrollaron durante este verano.

Están de pruebas y necesitan que lo probemos para notificar errores.

El nuevo sistema adminte al menos 60 imágenes a la vez y funciona en tablets.

Puedes probarlo en http://test.mapknitter.org:3000/ que es una copia de cómo estaba la web de mapkintter en octubre 2014. Todo lo que modifiques allí no cambiará los mapas en mapkitter.org. No permite subir imágenes.

A probar y sugerir. No hace falta ser programador para probarlo y contar los errores o problemas que encontremos.

Seguimos,
pablo

Hello, mapmakers!

The Web Working Group has set up a testing version of MapKnitter 2, integrating all of the past summer's work and a *great deal more* into a near-complete overhaul of the platform. Much has changed for the better.

This is a limited testing release, which uses a copy of real data, a snapshot from October, but does not allow image uploading or deletion, or affect the live MapKnitter.org site. 

This is such a major revamp that we're SURE there are lots of issues, bugs, oddnesses, etc. -- that's why we're launching a test server, which you can find here:

http://test.mapknitter.org:3000/

PLEASE use Github to report any issues, and mention your browser and OS:

https://github.com/publiclab/mapknitter/issues/new

Also, check out the issues I've already posted here: https://github.com/publiclab/mapknitter/issues

All old maps should work in the new interface, and for the time being we've preserved most of the "Legacy" MapKnitter interface to ease the transition for folks.

We'd like to spend the next few days ironing out issues, etc, in preparation for an actual launch. Later, we'll be adding new features on the clean, shiny new foundation that this release creates for us. 

Thanks to everybody who's put their valuable time into this project!

Jeff

====================

What is MapKnitter 2 all about?

* finger-friendly on smartphones and tablets with touch interfaces

* can handle more images, more smoothly; >60 images are still smooth, even on smartphones

* no odd gridlines or artifacts during distortion

* more modular, extensible -- based on widely used and simple Leaflet map library

* the image distortion code can be used in any Leaflet-based project

* new upload interface based on Vidhun and Justin's work

Upcoming features:

* using GPS EXIF tags in images to roughly place each one

* brand new MapKnitter Annotations 2 by Justin Manley

* full resolution imagery mode if you've got the bandwidth and CPU

* potentially live-editing, so you can see other peoples' edits in near-realtime

Jeff ¿hay forma de buscar mapas en el site de prueba?

[Jeffrey Warren]

Haha, todavia no -- aunque eso es el primer issue en Github: https://github.com/publiclab/mapknitter/issues/93

la funcion existe, solo que no hay interfaz publicado en esta version

si lo necesites, lo puedo crear, no sera dificil.

[pablo rey]

No es necesario, era para facilitarme la búsqueda de algún mapa.

Intenté copiar la url del mapa de la Vall d'Uixó en el mapknitter http://mapknitter.org/maps/la-vall-d-uix--  en el mapkintter 2 de test pero no me funcionó.

[Jeffrey Warren]

Lo acaba de implimentar; lo tendria que hacer pronto de todos modos: http://test.mapknitter.org:3000/
